Club career

Iván Santillán began his senior career with Coronel Bolognesi in 2009.[1] He made his Torneo Descentralizado league debut in round 2 at home against Alianza Lima. Manager Roberto Mosquera put him in late in the match for Javier Chumpitaz, but in the end his side lost 1–2.[2] In his fourth match he made his first league start, playing the entire match in the 1–4 defeat to CD Universidad San Martin.[3] He finished his debut season in the top-flight with nine league appearances.[1]

Then in January 2012 Santillán joined newly promoted side Real Garcilaso.

After much controversy, Santillán was sold to Tiburones Rojos de Veracruz in January 2019. In 2020, Santillán went back to Peru to play for Universitario.
